President Obama was caught on a live microphone near the end of a 90-minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday, saying he will have “more flexibility” to deal with missile defense after the upcoming election, according to ABC News.

Obama asked Medvedev to deliver a message to incoming President Vladimir Putin: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space,” Obama said.
